The Path to Reporting & Analytics: Establishing an Enterprise Data Warehouse

The Path to Reporting & Analytics: Establishing an Enterprise Data Warehouse

A large restaurant chain had many challenges, including: no standard defined for the reports, metrics and business rules; there were too many being produced ad-hoc; more time spend massaging the data than analyzing it.

DATA MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES

Each organization is in a different place and has different drivers for data management agility and maturity, but there are some critical capabilities or components that are generally applicable including:

  • Storage & compute flexibility & elastic provisioning
  • Support for parallel & distributed processing
  • Event/data streaming

  • Democratized data access

  • Easy to use without specialized training
  • Ability to handle all data types
  • Business-enabled data engineering
  • Data lab / sandbox

  • Data catalog

Deploying, integrating and managing data and analytics solutions and platforms can be challenging.

Implementing solutions that solve significant business challenges come with a new set of needs and maintenance requirements that sometimes don’t seem like they are properly offsetting the issues they were intended to solve.
